HERRMANN Ban Johnson Will Vote for Present Chairman and Heydler for : Someone Else Minors Are Not in Harmony Over Abol ishijig Draft, Although Agreed on Optional Agreement. By Jack Vciock EW YORK, Jan. 15. (L N .S.) The chairman ship of the national baseball commission was the leading topic at the meetings of the National and American leagues here today. The two big leagues went into separate sessions to ratify play . ing schedules, clean up routine business and out line policies in advance of the joint meeting, which is slated for tomorrow. Various opinions were expressed regarding the question of the national commission and the demands to be made by the minor leagues. Consensus of opinion pointed to a probable deadlock over the election of the chairman of the Central body, with Ban Johnson voting fpr Chairman Herrmann ajnd John Heydler voting for someone else. In such a case, it was pointed out, Herrmannn would continue as a holdover official. Meanwhile Herrmann refuses to commit himself on the question of his withdrawal. S While the majors are In session, th adjourned meeting f the N tional association was convened, at -the Biltmore hotel, with President I Mike Sexton, of Rock Island. I1L, presiding!. IWtaers to Shave Demaads j The minor leaguers will shape their policies In readiness for their presentation to the majors tomor row or FTtday. President Sexton admitted to day that the minors are not a, unit in demanding the removal of the daft. ; "Soma of the minor league club and leagues want the draft lifted." said Sexton, "while 'others are for Us continuance. All agree, how- i ever, that the abolition cf the op tional agreement is necessary to their future success." - Griffith's Plaa fp Again Qlark Griffith, of the Washing ton Senators, Is prepared to offer the majors and minors a "solution of their troubles today. Griffith says baseball fan be conducted on a fair basis for all concerned if i founded and run on three rules ,the draft rule, the waiver rule and the reserve rule. , "Under his plan no player could I be purchased In the open market, f but the majors would acquire new Tj.talent through the medium of the draft, and if a player failed to ( i make good he would be cent back 1 to some club of lower classification via the waiver ruje, and the players j going back ' to the minors would go jsghack free of charge and unin cumbered by options. ' i Sale Price f 1,150,009 t The sale of the Giants to Charles 5 Stoneham, Judge McQuaid and John McClraw was still being dis J cussed in the lobbies today. It i ranks as the greatest baseball deal J in history, and although the new , owners and the retiring officials have refused to name the sum in volved, it is said on good authority j- that it was 11.350.000. -y The St Louis Cardinals may be Sold to Russell Gardner, wealthy Abound City automobile manufao- turer, and owner of the Memphis club, before the week is over. It Is said Gardner has made a bid , for the Cards and named his price. :J Branch Rickey is considering the -offer and has communicated with " the club officials at 8k Jxuts.

Henry has returned from Seattle, where he signed Big Williams, the Seattle heavyweight, for a joust here January 22, "with Frank Kendall, the Portland heavyweight, who is ripe for a comeback.

Joe Gorman and Johnny Cashill may be rematched, if Henry can come to terms with Gorman. This should be a good go, as there was some question over the Gorman decision at the last meeting. Henry has announced that the next how win start promptly at 8:15 o'clock so that it may be over by 10-:30 o'clock, therefore causing great rejoicing among the wives of those who happen to be married.

Jn the feature match of the four played Tuesday night in the annual three cushion handicap billiard tournament on at the Kialto bil liard parlors. Chapln started off like a "champ" and was leading by the score of 11 to 5 billiards, when Peterson found his bearings and. playing bril liantly, won out without a great deal of trouble. Chapin played well and besides scoring the high run of four billiards, made one seemingly impossible shot that got him a big hand. The safety play was good and the match was one of the best of the tournament up to date. In the other three matches played Tuesday, Carl Miller won from E. C Archer, 25 to 18: A. Welch defeated Iri Thomas, 23 to 21 billiards, and X. T. Ertckson defeated J. Ungar, 20 to 16 billiards. The first two matches are In class B and the last one in class C.

In ternationally famous mile runner, has returned from Italy, where he did hia training in aviation under Italian instructors and learned to fly the big Caproni bombing ma chines. Because of the request of the Italian king, the American aviators in Italy wear the Italian royal flying corps decorations, so that they look like a major general when they doff the overcoats. Lieutenant Windnagle wears two gold service stripe on his left arm. He landed in England, traveled through France to Italy and fin ished his schooling at Foggia. Toek Fart In Meets While it was hard work, Wind nagle and his American mates had time to participate in a number of International athletic tournaments in which the Americans came off in signal honors. " There were enough ail-American football men in the camp to -make any college team a 'champion on the gridiron, says the Portland flyer. I Among theme were Steve Phllbinof Yale, Jim Kennedy of IaFayoe, Good of Colgate and Ed Malley of Notre Dame. Among the track men were Red Graham, the Chicago pole vaulter and for mer national champion ; Hap Gra ham, the New York Athletic elan five-mller, and Windnagle himself, who was the national mile cham pion In 1916, getting around the oval In remarkably fat time. First at ectlag ta Years Somebody Said that tf a ' man wants to meet his friends, he had better so to war. Singularly enough this very thing happened to wind nagle when he was In Bordeaux, and it has to do with .three other athletes of Vere's high school day In Portland. Walking alone a street in Bor deaux one day, he was hailed by an officer, who happened to be Lieu tenant Kirkland, the Columbia uni versity prep school hurdler, who left Portland to. enter Notre Dame and became prominent in eastern athletics. Kirkland Is In the- ord nance corps and is athletic director for the troops around Bordeaux. "Howdy, Fellow" While Windnagle, who spent a year at the University of Oregon after finishing Washington high, and later was gradauted from Cornell university at Ithaca, N. Y., and Kirkland were talking over old times, the latter was hailed by Lieutenant Schafer,. Vancouver high school athlete, who was wounded in an infantry charge on the French front. Schafer competed in a number of Portland intei; scholastic meets ""and was welf "known to Kirkland and Windnagle. Looking over the register at Wlnd nagle's hotel was Captain Harold Hilton, Washington high school ath, lete, who starred in track work on the same team with Windnagle. Hilton, who went east to college and finished at Oregon Agricultural college. Where he became prominent In wrestling, recognized the name and hunted Vere up. He therefore located the two others, none of whom knew another was In Bor- CAESON BIGBEE MAY PLAY WITH SHIPYAED TEAM Pittsburg Outfielder Handling Hot Rivets in Standifer Yard; May Quit Pirates. Carton Blgbee, W-UniverSity of Ore gon baseball player, who was a member of the Pittsburg Nationals last year, is now handling hot rivets in the Standifer shipyard at Vancouver, Wash., and it Is understood that he will stick to ship building. Blgbee recently received notice from the Pirates that his 1919 contract Would be forwarded in the near future, but according to information Bigbee will not play with the Pirates this year.
